Your privacy and security are our top priorities. Here's how we protect your data.
At The Dollar Web, we've built our entire platform around a simple principle: your documents are yours and yours alone. We don't want to see them, store them, or have access to them in any way. This isn't just a privacy policy statement—it's fundamental to how our tools work.
All document processing happens entirely within your web browser. Your files never leave your device.
We don't upload, store, or retain any of your documents on our servers. Ever.
We use well-established, transparent open-source tools that have been vetted by the security community.
The key to our security model is that all document processing happens in your browser using JavaScript. When you use a Dollar Web tool:
When you select a file to process (like a PDF to merge or an image to edit), that file is loaded into your browser's memory. The browser's JavaScript engine reads the file and performs whatever operations you've requested—merging PDFs, resizing images, generating QR codes, etc.
Your documents are never transmitted over the internet to our servers or anyone else's servers. The only network requests we make are to:
At no point do we request access to your actual document data.
All the heavy lifting—PDF manipulation, image editing, file conversion—is done by your web browser's JavaScript engine on your own device. We provide the code that tells your browser how to do these operations, but we never see the input or output files.
When processing is complete, the result is offered as a download directly from your browser's memory. At no point does it pass through our servers.
It's technically impossible for us to view your files since they never reach our servers. We genuinely have no access to your documents.
Since we don't store your documents, they can't be stolen in a data breach. The only way to access your files would be to compromise your own device.
We don't use analytics trackers that can see your documents. No third-party services have access to your files during processing.
While we don't collect or see your documents, we do use limited external services for essential platform functions:
We use Supabase for secure user authentication and account management. Supabase handles:
Supabase is an industry-standard authentication provider with enterprise-grade security. Your passwords are never stored in plain text and are encrypted using industry best practices.
We use Stripe for all payment processing. Stripe is a PCI-DSS Level 1 certified payment processor—the highest level of security certification in the payments industry.
Important: The Dollar Web never sees or stores your payment information.
When you upgrade to Premium, you're redirected to Stripe's secure checkout page. Stripe handles all payment details, including credit card numbers, billing addresses, and transaction data. We only receive confirmation that a payment was successful—we never have access to your payment methods.
We collect usage data to improve our tools, including:
This data is aggregated and we can't tie it to specific documents or file contents in any way.
Our tools are built using trusted, open-source JavaScript libraries that are industry standards for browser-based document processing. These libraries include:
All libraries are loaded from trusted CDNs or hosted locally on our servers. You can view the complete list of open-source components and their licenses on our Licenses page.
The Dollar Web's architecture makes it suitable for business use, including handling sensitive documents:
Because documents are processed entirely in your browser and never transmitted to servers, you can safely use our tools for:
All connections to The Dollar Web are encrypted using HTTPS/TLS, protecting your authentication credentials and account information during transmission.
Since we don't receive your documents, we have no documents to retain, delete, or manage. Your compliance obligations around data retention and destruction remain entirely under your control.
Note for Regulated Industries: While our architecture is designed for privacy and security, businesses in highly regulated industries (healthcare, finance, etc.) should evaluate whether our tools meet their specific compliance requirements. Our client-side processing model eliminates many data handling concerns, but you remain responsible for ensuring compliance with regulations applicable to your industry.
Here's a typical workflow to illustrate our security model:
At no point in this process do your files touch our servers or leave your device.
While we've built security into our architecture, here are some recommendations to maximize your security:
We take security seriously and are committed to transparency about how our platform works. If you have questions about our security practices or concerns about how your data is handled, please don't hesitate to reach out.
